A "healer" is not someone that you go to FOR healing. A healer is someone that trigger within you, your own ability to heal yourself.

Hot stone Massage

Smooth stones are heated and then lubricated with oil or essential oils, the therapeutic effects of heat are used to relax muscles more deeply. Used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, the use of massage stones induces deep relaxation and provides a unique experience many find to be tremendously calming and centering.

Swedish/Relaxation Massage

Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation.

Lindsey S.

I have been a massage
therapist over 7 years. I came to my career while I was at Oregon State University
for Nursing, also working in the medical field as a medical
assistant in an assistant living facility. I decided then that I wanted to help
people more on the holistic side of things rather than treating symptoms with
medications.So I changed my major and went to massage school. I believe a healing touch can be very therapeutic for the body to
heal itself. I see myself as intuitive, feeling energy, pain, discomfort and
help the body unwind and rebalance itself with guidance from my touch.I have worked at high end spa for six years in the Portland area, during that time I also kept busy at various private practices in McMinnville and Portland to build up my business. I got my Intimal Education at Oregon School of Massage in 2006 ending in 2008 and licensed in 2009. I also have taken additional courses with my continuing education such as Pre-Natal Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Reflexology, Reiki, and Aromatherapy with Doterra essential oils. I’m currently training with Upleder Institute for Craniosacral Therapy which has allowed me to travel to Washington, California and Florida for extensive trainings. One thing about massage therapy is I’m always learning new techniques to customize massages for each individual needs.I was born and raised
in Salem, Oregon moved to Corvallis to go to Oregon State then moved back to Salem
to finish massage school at Oregon School of Massage. I currently practice and
live in the Portland area. Outside of massage I
love traveling for long weekends or out of state for adventures to learn and
see new things with my Partner. I’m involved in a dragon boat team based out of
Portland, just wrapped up my third season. I love the water and travelling with
the team to different places to compete. I’m also a huge Oregon State Football
fan since I used to be in the color guard with the marching band in high school
and in college as well as involved in a drum corps right after high school. So,
you could say my favorite time of year is football season.Look forward to meeting you and help you relax and decompress from life with a massage.
